Think outside the box when creating eye-catching nails. Metallic nails can be more than your typical gold, silver, bronze, or platinum nail polish. Create new nail designs with a range of reflective nail colors from The GelBottle Inc. We have classic metallic gels, new cat-eye gels, and electric chrome pigments for professional nail techs.

Sage Chrome Pigment blends sophistication and shine, adding a reflective take to an earthy color. Apply this metallic green color to long or short nails at any time of the year.

A Chrome Reflective Nail Design

Give your clients chrome nails that look out of this world by creating metallic nails that reflect like water. Paint a dramatic French tip, then using the liquid metallic Studio Gel, Mirror Chrome, paint a line separating the base of the nail and the extended nail tip. Draw a few rippled lines pulling toward the tip. Make some lines intersect and be bolder than others, making them look like flowing silver water.

Silver Metallic Nail Art

Rumor has it that metallic nails are in! Apply our silver cat-eye gel for a multidimensional metallic effect, then use the black Studio Gel to create a zebra pattern on each nail. The dark black and silver create a subtle contrast, one absorbing light while the other reflects, making this manicure absolutely mesmerizing.
